OK, I have too many projects, time for this one to find a new home.  I've sunk over $2500 into this car just in parts.  I have replaced the following:

y-pipe with catalytic converters
2 O2 sensors
Front and rear quick struts
Front ball joints
Tune-up
New front pads and rotors

Car easily passes emissions testing.  Car will not pass safety inspection.  Needs work on the front aprons (areas near strut towers) and rocker panels.  Passenger rear quarter also needs a patch around gas door.  Car runs AMAZING!  This thing is surprisingly fast.  I really wanted to finish the restoration, just don't have the time. 

IF YOU WANT THE RIMS IN THE PICTURE THEY WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL $500 ONTOP OF THE FINAL PRICE!  RIMS IN PICTURE ARE NOT INCLUDED!!!!  I HAVE THE ORIGINAL SHO RIMS WITH TIRES THAT HOLD AIR (BUT ARE BAD) INCLUDED IN THE SALE.  MAKE NO MISTAKES, I WILL NOT INCLUDE THE RIMS IN THE PICTURES UNLESS YOU PAY EXTRA!!!!  NO SHIPPING!  NO SAFETY INCLUDED!  CAR IS AS-IS WHERE IS AND YOU MUST TRAILER IT!!!

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.

Chris Harris pits Fiesta ST against Mercedes G63 AMG in 0-60 battle... sort of

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

Vehicle performance tests are serious business, with reputations made or broken by things like braking distance, top speed, and lateral g-forces. King of the metrics, though, is the 0-60 run, which for unknown reasons has become the benchmark for what truly makes a car a performance machine.
Now, Chris Harris from Drive has turned the whole idea behind the sprint to 60 on its ear. Taking a new Ford Fiesta ST, Harris asks a simple question: would the ST be quicker to 60 on its own, or on a trailer being towed by a Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG?
It's a fair question, really. The Fiesta Harris tested hit 60 in 7.2 seconds on a slightly uphill section of runway. It should be noted that Harris quotes his ST at 182 horsepower, which is about 15 ponies less than what we're getting in the US, so these numbers might not hold up all that well against an American model. The G63 AMG, meanwhile, is a 536-horsepower monster, powered by a twin-turbo V8 that, able to propel the big SUV to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds without towing a Fiesta.

'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you

Fri, 03 May 2013

The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
